Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Adjust tsc_offset only if tsc_unstable
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:22:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1260789740-14847-1-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com> (raw)

The tsc_offset adjustment in svm_vcpu_load is executed
unconditionally even if Linux considers the host tsc as
stable. This causes a Linux guest detecting an unstable tsc
in any case.
This patch removes the tsc_offset adjustment if the host tsc
is stable. The guest will now get the benefit of a stable
tsc too.
